WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-The trouble
among the Crow Indians has been sur
prise to the interior department. The
Crows have always been the friends Of
the whites. They have aided them in
their fight against the Sioux and the Pie
gans, and less trouble has been had with
them than with most of the Indian tribes.
They number only little over 5000, and
their reservation in Montana contains
more than 4, 7l2, 900 acres.
1t contains some good agricultural land,
and the department has been doing all IL
can to induce these Indians to go to farm
ing. 1t has constructed bitches to irri-
gate the ground and the last report of the
commissioner of Indian affairs stated that
$50, 600 ought to be given for this pur
pose. A treaty was made with the Crows
in 1880, at which number of their most
noted chiefs were here at Washington.
They were photographed Mt this time
by the government, and l am able
to give you in this letter some
of the most noted among them
One of these IL Plenty Coos and another
has the cuphonious name of Two Belly.
The latter is so called from his immense
size. He is over six feet high and broad
in proportion. He was not very well
year or two ago, and | am not certain as
to his existence at the present time. There
are so many chiefs among the Crows that
it is hard to keep track of them. Twenty
six chiefs have, think, been recognized
by the interior department, and the word
Belly seems to be II favorite name among
them. There are Bad Bellies, Lean Bel
lies and Fat Bellies, and allied to these
are II number of Indians named Bull. A
picture of Medicine Bull represents him
rs stalwart Indian with severe feat
ures, and there are among these Crows
Tall Bull, Bobtail Bull, Climb
ing Bull, Standing Bull and Deaf Bull.
The Elks are also numerous and Long

PLANT FERTILIZATION.
Cause OF Exceptional Display OF Color NO
ticeable in Arctic Flowers.

Now, all the world over, mountain
plants, especially those that grow be-
yond the limit Of trees, and close up to
the very snow-line, are celebrated for
their exceptional display of vivid color. I
Every body must at least have heard OF
the Alpine gentinans, globe-fowers and
daffodils, that belt with blue or gold or
primrose whole zones Of mountain-side
in Swiss spring-time, Exactly the same
thing is true of the artistic flowers;
short as is their summer, they make 1t
beautiful while it lasts, with their pro-
fuse bloom, hundred times more vivid
and pervasive than any thing to be
seen in those much overpraised and
misrepresented tropics. Even in tenn
perate Europe and America, every body
must have noticed that, as we 90 up the
higher hills, we find their slopes purpled
with heather or golden with gorsc, pink
with mountain-laurel, or crimson with
masses Of the wild rhododendron.
Why is thisP Simply because among
the uplands, and more especially close
to the snow-line, bees are rare. and the
4 work of fertilization is mainly left to
the care of butterflies. Now, the bee,
as every body knows, is a steady, regu-
! lar, business-like worker, lie flies low,

Stole a Saddle.

A boy giving his name as Harry
Schooley, 16 years old was arrested
this morning, by officers Jackson and
Jim Gossage, and locked up on a
charge of theft. He had in his pos.
session nearly new saddle, bride and
blanket in wheat sack, which he
acknowledges he stole from a timer
in Holden. He did not know the
name of the timer, but says he lives
near the depot there. Chief of Police
Jackson telephoned to the officers at
Holden.
Schooley came from Holden in a
box car last night, and started this
morning with officer Gossage to locate
the stolen property. When they reach.
ell the open country, beyond the
crossing of the railroad and Broadway,
Schooling started to escape, giving the
officer a lively race before he was ar.
rested. He says be lives at Creighton
Cass county.
Schooley pleaded guilty to petit
larceny before Justice Blair this after
noon, and was fined SO and costs,
amounting in all to S16.55. Not
having The cash, he was sent to the
county Jail.

A Wonderful Human Freak

Chattahoochee, Fla, November 16.-A
most remarkable freak of nature here is
attracting great attention and hundreds OF
people are coming miles to see it. AT
Bsrney Hill, small cOlored settlement,
ten miles from here, colored woman
some weeks ago gave birth to a boy-child
that nearly scared them all TO death. The
infant was healthy and well developed
when born and has continued in good con-
dition since, but the strangest part is ITS
color. 1t is divided into two halves, as it
were, one representing the Caucasian and
the other the African race. One side, from
the center of its forehead down, is as black
as coal, while the other is equally white
and fair. Another monstrous freak of the
same nature is shown by the fact that the
Caucasian side has thick lips and fiat nose,
kinky hair and black eye-in fact, all the
African characteristics-while the dark
side has fair and good features, blue eye
and soft, silky hair. Its arrival created a
terrible hubbub in the settlement, and the
negroes were inclined to regard it as an
omen of evil.
Hon. III. III. Speer, senator, as agent for
the mother, is negotiating with P. I. Bar
mum with a view to having it on exhibit
ton. 1t is one of the strangest freaks Of
nature ever heard of in this section, and
this very fact has kept it so quiet until
now.

Mexico, Mo-, Nov. Little Daisy
Show, ii years old, the daughter of Mrs.M.

was sent by her mother on an afternoon
Jefferson City train yesterday for the state
capital. where she was to attend school this
coming winter. She was met at Cedar City,
across the river frem Jefferson City, by an
elderly man, who said : "This is the little
girl / am looking for" The two entered a
bus, but when the vehicle reached the town
the couple were COMA. When the news OF
the child's kidnapping was broken to her,
Mrs. Show was greatly frightened. The
police of Jeffesron City, made a thorough
investigation last night, but nothing con-
corning the mystery was revealed. The
anxious mother lives in the hope that there
is mistake and her daughter will come
around all right. .r. .

A MILLIONAIRE'S WILL.
He Adopted Babies and Provided
Literally for Their Al
legged Mothers.

Pittsburg. Nov. 1.-THE trial of a sui
TO break the will of Michael Mccullough
{ the deceased millionaire, which begun YES.
terday, developed some strange conduct on
the part of Mr.. Mccullough. Three day.
after making his will he decided Minnie
johnson, a notorious woman who lived on
Film street, piece 1T property VALUED al
Sl2 200. The agents in the transaction
were Nr. Arensburg ami broker of the
same name. The woman claimed to be the
mother of boy whom Mr.. Me- ulougn
adopted as his SIN and had baptized in the
Catholic church, be>towing upon il his own
name in full. he appears to have been TX
tremely liberal with provisions of this kind
1t is known that several disorderly women
with whom he associated obtained large
sums OF money from him by similar pre-
texts.
About three years before his death Nc
CullOugh took a woman named Maudie
Perkins from a house on Elm street and
sent her into the country. She returned
in fortnight with bouncing baby boy,
and the old man gladly hailed il as his
own. He had this boy, too, baptized in
his own name at st PauPs cathedral and
settled upon the woman sOme 10000
worth of real estate the child died in a
few months and the woman married a well
known sporting man. The two are now
living upon the income derived from Nc
Culiough's gift.
Although an habitual driuker all his
life, Mr.. Mccullough was an unusually
shrewd and far seeing man of business. His
mental faculties were of remarkable
shrewdness until impaired OF late years by
alcohol and the drugs he used to overcome
its effects. His physical vigor, too, was
almost wonderful. He ate but little and
for several years lived almost entirely up
on stimulants. Despite these habits he
was never i'll until some three years ago,
when he was confined to his bed for over
two months. His most intimate friends
say he never fully recovered
from his illness, but lived
in bfoken-down condition un-
til his last illness in JAN
uary. During this sickne~s the ply
sicians treated him for atrophy OF
the liver, or "whisky liver" AS it
is generally called. A few days,
too, before death il was discovered
that he had suffered for years from
large ulceratei sore on his chest, the ex-
istence of which he kept a profound Sc
cret from his physicians, nurses and most
intimate friends.
The allegation of morphine excesse>
will raise some important medical points
in that trial. The ground upon which
the court is asked to set aside the will l.
the alleged impaired mental condition oil
dedecent at the time it was made.

Fire This Morning.

Both hose companies responded tc
an alarm at $50 o'clock this morning
for fire in the residence of Jshr
Adams, north of the Missouri Pacific
shops. No one was at the house al
the time the alarm was given, and be.
fore the department could get stream
of water, the house was too far burned
to be saved.
The alarm was sent to hose compa.
ny No. 2 for fire east of the M. X.
& 7. Shops, and some delay was &C.
casioned thereby.
A BAzoo reporter met Adams this
afternoon, at 3 o'clock, and he had
not then heard of his loss. He is a
colored man, and was this morning at
work for p. O.. Stafford, on Ninth
street. The building is owned by the
Seventh Building and Loan associa-
ton. and was insured for $500 in the
German, of Rochester, N. Y. The
furniture was insured for 500 in the
same company.
Adams wife works at the Missouri
Pacific hospital. Adams thinks the
house was set on fire by some one, who
has been in the habit of going into
the house occasionally for several
weeks, when the occupants were
away.
